Nidhan Singh, son of Teja Singh of Jaisinghwala, P. S. Baghapurana, District Ferozepore. He first left India in 1902 for Singapore where he worked as a watchman. He returned in 1905 and after spending some years in Bombay and Bangalore, etc., left India again in 1912 or 1913 visiting Rangoon, Penang and Singapore, doing business as a lace merchant. He finally arrived at Colombo in March 1915 and was found importing firearms in a box with a false bottom. He was consequently arrested and sent to the Punjab where he was interned. Sometime before his arrival in India a letter was intercepted from Chanan Singh (C-5) at Manila to Narain Singh and Tara Singh at Jaisinghwala warning them of this man's impending return to India to cause harm to various local people. His conduct in jail was consistently bad and he feigned madness. He was released in December 1918 and restricted to his village for six months. The restriction was removed in 1919. A year later he left for Bombay where he has since been doing business as a cloth hawker and pays occasional visits to his village. He is an active Akali and used to associate with the Jathas going to Jaito.
